funny thing... I tried to bring it to the nearest SE service center and they told me that i have to leave my cellphone for 2 to 3 weeks, they need to bring it to level 3 technicians. but i can't wait that long... so i tried SEUS recovery again and this time it works! my phone is now alive!

wow this seems to be a real common problem. my white light for 2 seconds problem just started last night.

mine's unbranded. can i still use the davinci repair thing to make it work? looks like the people in the this thread who got theirs fixed had the same problem had upgraded firmware to w800i..

will mine still work? already tried SEUS once..

I think it will work. Give it a shot. Agree looks like more and more people get this problem. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this suddenly happens? What can be the problem causing this? Firmware etc?

ok so my stage 1 went fine, but stage 2 when it asked me to press c button and reconnect just stayed at 95% - never moved..

tried everything.. took battery out for 10 mins, everything..

if you keep trying and cant get it to work just drop it into a service centre. Hopefully they wont notice it has w800i firmware. I took mine and they had no problems in fixing it. And i got it back in 3 days.

Thats what im going to end up doing if it doesnt work till tonight.

btw, did you guys use the regular DCU60 data cable that comes with the phone or a service cable bought off davinci to write the GDFS???

thanks

DCU-60 can be used for updating the firmware... at least on SEUS... don't know about DaVinci...

Hi all

Sorry for not mention it before but I used the cable which Davinci sells.http://www.davinciteam.com/index.php?page=datacable. I dont know if the cable that follows the phone would do the trick. Hope anyone can confirm if it does. Sorry again for not clearing this up earlier in the thread. Hope you all get it to work.

hi, i talked to some programmer on Davinci and he said that you can only repair the GDFS with the Service Cable. So, those of you, who are facing this problem shud take it to a service center. I think, that wud be cheaper for u. Anyway, you can also buy the same cable from here: http://www.kobonet-netshop.co.uk/2in1_usb.php . If you are in EU, US or Australia, then you will recieve the cable in 5-6 days. Its much faster compared to Davinci. Those guys take too much time.
